Agreement reached between GWU and Arriva

An agreement has been reached between the General Workers’ Union and Arriva Malta Limited which averts the risk of further industrial action.

The workers are lamenting long working hours and poor compensation for rosters featuring split shifts.

The agreement includes an obligation on the bus company to revise the rosters applicable to its employees and, until such new rosters are implemented, an undertaking to pay compensation to the workers.

The union was represented by Mr. Tony Zarb and Mr. Charles Agius, and was assisted by Dr. Aron Mifsud Bonnici throughout these negotiations.
